Jasper Cottage is a charming two-bedroom retreat sleeping up to four guests, with an open-plan living area on the first floor featuring a cosy wood-burner, dining table and chairs, comfortable seating and a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. External stone steps with a handrail lead up to the entrance, which opens straight into this bright living space, perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun. Stairs lead down to the two bedrooms on the lower ground floor, both fitted with zip-link beds that can be made up as twin beds or a super-king double. One bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while the other has a "Jack and Jill" bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and hand basin, accessible from both the bedroom and the corridor. Outside, guests have their own south-facing patio beside the cottage with a picnic bench and BBQ, plus access to a large shared garden with BBQ for guests' sole use. A children's play area with climbing frame, wendy house and picnic table is also available within the grounds. Ample parking is available close to the cottage. Bed linen and towels are provided, and GBP 20 of electricity and heating costs are included, ample for a week-long stay, with logs, kindling and matches supplied for the wood-burner in cooler months. Guests have access to a communal washing machine and dryer in an external laundry room, shared with three other holiday cottages. A cot, high chair and stair gates are available on request. Dogs are welcome, up to two per booking, for a supplement of GBP 20 each, and stabling for horses can also be arranged for those wishing to bring them. The property is not suitable for guests with restricted mobility or wheelchair users. A stay at Christmas offers a wonderfully cosy base, with evenings spent in front of the wood-burner, and guests are welcome to bring their own decorations.

Brushford is a peaceful village on the southern edge of Exmoor National Park in Somerset, just two miles from the market town of Dulverton. The village sits where the rivers Barle and Exe converge in a beautiful wooded valley. The parish church of St Nicholas dates from the 15th century and includes the Herbert memorial chapel designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Brushford has a village hall, playground, and a friendly community of families and retirees -- a tranquil base from which to explore all that Exmoor has to offer. Dulverton, a short stroll or two-minute drive away, is known as the 'southern gateway to Exmoor' and provides an excellent range of amenities. You will find independent shops, a late-opening supermarket, butcher, greengrocer, post office, chemist, and a cash machine. There are award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs, tea rooms, and a fish and chip shop. Exmoor House -- the headquarters of the Exmoor National Park Authority -- is in Dulverton and features exhibitions and a gallery. The Guildhall Heritage and Arts Centre in Dulverton is well worth a visit, with free admission and fascinating exhibitions on local history including a working model of the original Dulverton railway station. The town sits between the rivers Barle and Exe, and the stunning Tarr Steps ancient clapper bridge is just five miles to the northwest -- one of the most popular and iconic landmarks in the whole of Exmoor.
